I know there are 6 "Levels" you can increase your stats by, so 6 Calm minds would make your S atk and S def at their max, and 3 Agilities or SD's would max out speed or attack. But how exactly does this work? Does it go by a percentage of the stat you're increasing, like every Swords Dance would count as a 20% increase to the stat? Or is there a set number, like 1 Calm Mind would consider S atk to be 10 points higher or something?

I asked this question initially as well. Think of it as this, when a move normally increases a stat, it increases it by +1. When it is sharply increased, it is increased by +2. Each stat can be increased by up to +6 with the following increases:

I just started using Swords Dance, Calm Mind, Dragon Dance... all those moves... I just started using them when I FIRST got NetBattle. Before, they didn't seem to do much... now, I realize that they KILL.

its kinda like in final fantasy, you never bother using Blind or Silence on random monsters in the forest when you can kill them in one hit, but against bosses, those spells seem vital. [but unlike in pokemon final fantasy never lets you give status abnormalities to bosses -_-]

Trust me, stat increasing moves really do work well. The reason that people didn't use those moves often is because they could usually OHKO the stupid AI's WEAK pokemon. Netbattle is different because the people essentially LIVE to battle and they have strong PKMN.

Dear members of Pojo.biz Forums:

Well, my Computer is now repaired, but classes kick back in tomorrow. Due to that, there is a very good chance I won't be on until things reach equillibrium in my life once again.

I'm not just an in-game battler, but I don't do the whole Netbattle thing either. Too many snobbish players calling everyone n00bs and what-not. It's annoying...especially because my life doesn't revolve around Pokemon.

I just don't use them because I don't use stat increasing. Unless it's just a Ninjask BPer. That's about as far as I ever went. Lol

I play NB a lot, but yeah... too many jerks. I'm really tired of the people who call your pokemon "Regip***y" just because it's using Psych Up against a Gardevoir... but whatever. It's not the point of the game, so it's not going to take me away from it.
